Arissa was all flustered with his very close appearance but she tried to be calm and in control so she would not add up to his huge ego. Her heart pounded on her ribcage and she turned breathless when his face leaned in to take a clear view of her arm.
Arissa pulled her eyes away before they would bleed as she began to question her sanity.
Nicklaus raised his face to her and stared into her eyes. Arissa's lips parted in response as she gulped not knowing the reason she was feeling this way.
"You were mingling with your father's crimes," Nicklaus stated holding her gaze.
Arissa's heart skipped a beat as she came back to reality with his words. She frowned at him and her eyes went back to his hand on her arm and back to his face. She was logically telling him to take his hand off her but Nicklaus was too overbearing to take orders from her.
